Capcom have officially confirmed that Australia and New Zealand will also be receiving a special Collector’s Edition for the hotly anticipated Resident Evil 6.

The Collector’s Edition comes with an apocalypse worth of zombie goodness, which is great so see considering this is arguably the ‘biggest’ Resident Evil title to date. The special Resident Evil 6 Collector’s Edition includes the following:

  • Exclusive RE6 hardback artbook showing concept art from the game
  • Avatar DLC code for 360 owners OR an exclusive Dynamic Theme for PS3 owners
  • Ivy University, Tall Oaks hooded sweatshirt (one size)
  • The RE6 forces emblems – High quality enamelled zinc alloy emblems of the three main protagonists (Leon, Chris & Jake) squad insignias, mounted and set in a limited numbered frame authenticated with signatures from Senior producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi , Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and RE6 Director Eiichiro Sasaki
  • All of the above amazing goodies are bundled together in the ‘Needle Bomb’ collectors box (as seen in the RE6 announce trailer) with lenticular images

All of this of course comes right along side the game itself. You can see the contents of the Collector’s Edition in the image above. The Resident Evil 6 Collector’s Edition is exclusive to EB Games and JB HI-FI and will be limited in number, so be sure to pre-order your copy quick before they run out.

Resident Evil 6 is slated to be released on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 later this year on the 4th of October.

Learn With Pokémon Typing Adventure Headed to Europe

Remember that Japanese Pokemon game that came out a while back with the keyboard? Well, it looks like Pokemon fans will be able to type along to their favorite critters soon, as Nintendo is set to launch Learn With Pokémon Typing Adventure this fall in Europe.

The main strategy of this title is exactly as it would seem, with players typing the names of Pokemon as they appear in order to perform a catch. There are over 400 Pokemon included as well, which makes for a good usage of the bundled in keyboard that retails with the game (which is blue tooth compatible). As you would expect, Learn With Pokémon Typing Adventure is aimed towards the younger market, but considering how computers run the world these days, it seems like a fine product to teach kids how to type. As of now, nothing has been announced for North America and it seems a bit unlikely, but never say never as weirder things have happened. Those of you in Europe can rejoice though, as Learn With Pokémon Typing Adventure launches this September.

Square Enix and IO Interactive has continued to release their Hope News Time images and this time around the factitious newspaper is reporting about a massive slaughter inside of one of Hope’s social clubs, apparently no one saw the gunmen or heard any shots, but fourteen people were found dead from bullet wounds.

The full newspaper can be seen below and those who have been paying attention will likely note that this means that players will be taking on a social club with about fourteen targets when Hitman: Absolution is released in stores later this year on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Pokemon Black & White 2 Hit 1 Million Pre-Orders

Pokemon Black & White 2 are bound to be huge when they hit this fall, but if early numbers are any indication, this duo may be the biggest success in the franchises’ history. The Pokémon Company recently revealed that Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 have surpassed the one million mark in pre-orders, with a total amount of 1.16 million hit on June 17th.

Yeah, yeah, we know these games sell, but these numbers really show how much fans still care about that classic Pokemon formula. These titles will of course feature a brand new story, taking place after the events of the first story and will also include many of the past species from the start. Fall seems a long ways off for us in the west, but this is just the beginning and you can be sure that there is even more promotion and hype to come in the near future.

Dragon’s Dogma ships over one million units; will be turned into franchise

Capcom’s new IP Dragon’s Dogma seems to be doing quite well as the publisher revealed late yesterday that they have shipped one million copies of the title around the world. Of those copies, 92,000 units sold in under a week in the U.S. while 437,248 copies have been sold in Japan as of last week. Considering the new and rather risky seeming development of the title, it looks like the game is doing quite well.

Capcom is hoping to ship 1.5 million copies of the game by the end of March 2013, and considering they have already reached 66% of that goal, it seems quite reasonable to assume it will be reached. Capcom also revealed that they are planning to turn Dragon’s Dogma into a franchise and are planning on releasing more games in the series sometime in the future.

Earlier today the company revealed the cover with Giroux’s image which can be seen above.

Also revealed was some gameplay footage of Giroux’s character in action which can be seen below. Those looking to pick up the game itself will need to wait until September 11th in North America while Europeans must wait until September 14th before they can pick up the title on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Fez patch removed by Microsoft; safe to play again

If you play Polytron’s XBLA title, Fez, then you probably received an update sometime this past week which may or may not have corrupted your game’s save file. Well after issuing a warning about the patch and telling gamers not to access the title, it seems that at least at the moment, fans of the series can once again begin playing Fez.

Microsoft has pulled the patch from Xbox Live and the game will no longer try to force players into patching the title if they haven’t already. For those still undergoing the affects of the patch there is a method which may resolve your problems, which involves clearing your 360’s cache. Currently Polytron is still working on a patch for the patch but at least non-corrupted players can begin playing the title once again.
